Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry!

Dear Family of Mary!

"Dear
children, with motherly love I desire to teach you sincerity, because I
desire that, in your actions as my apostles, you be exact, resolute,
and above all sincere. I desire that, by the grace of God, you be open
for a blessing. I desire that by fasting and prayer you obtain from the
Heavenly Father the cognition of what is natural and holy - Divine.
Filled with cognition, under the shelter of my Son and myself, you will
be my apostles who will know how to spread the Word of God to all those
who do not know of it; and you will know how to overcome obstacles that
will stand in your way. My children, by means of a blessing, God's grace
will descend upon you and you will be able to retain it through
fasting, prayer, purification and reconciliation. You will have the
efficiency which I seek of you. Pray for your shepherds that the ray of
God's grace may illuminate their ways. Thank you." (February 02, 2014)

Our
Lady tells us in this message that she wants to teach us something. She
wants us to enter her school once again, and allow her to introduce to
us something we may not know or understand. She tells us she wants to
teach us sincerity.

As
some of us heard, when the message was first presented right after
Mirjana's apparition, the word honesty was used instead of sincerity. At
first this may seem very different. But as I looked at the dictionary
meanings for sincerity and honesty, I found these general meanings:

Sincerity: "the quality of being open and truthful; not deceitful or hypocritical..."

Honesty: "

truthfulness, sincerity, or frankness."

These meanings are very close, almost interchangeable.

Our
Lady tells us the reason why she needs us to learn sincerity. She needs
us to be her apostles. She needs us to act on her behalf. And so our
actions must reflect her call to us, they must be expressions of her
love, her peace, her joy, and her plan. In order for our actions to
convey these things, they must be exact, resolute and sincere.

Why
is exactness important? Our Lady has given us several main messages to
live. She needs us to live these messages as she has taught us. If we
are not exact in living these messages, we may distort her plan and lead
others in the wrong direction. So being careful to accept Our Lady's
main messages exactly as she has conveyed them is important.

What
about being resolute? Well, as we all know, it takes resolve to live
the messages. Daily prayer, Holy Mass, Confession, fasting, Bible
reading...these things take a certain decision on our part. If we are
not resolved to live these messages, we will fall away from them and
lose our way. Our Lady's plan will suffer defeat through our lack of
resolve.

And
of course, sincerity? Why is sincerity necessary? If we are not careful
to convey the messages with truthfulness and honesty, we may instead
present a watered down version of them. We may even use Our Lady's
messages for our own advantage. Sincerity will ensure that we receive
and live Our Lady's messages with fidelity to her words. And in doing
so, others will be given the gift of Our Lady's messages with purity!

We
have been called to be Our Lady's apostles. She has enlisted us in her
school. And she is training us to be those who can represent her to
others. This is no small thing! We have a very great mistress who
deserves our best efforts. To make her known to those who do not know
her yet is a great honor. May we learn sincerity- deep within. May we be
pure in our efforts to serve Mother Mary! May her triumph first be
complete in each of us! Then others will be drawn to her loving presence
and find the joy of living under the Gospa's mantle.

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

MARY, OUR MOTHER

Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry!Below is a slide show of pictures that I have collected: Tears of Mary!

Have a look!

Jeremiah 14:17; 15:18

"Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the Virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with an exceedingly grievous evil. / Why is my sorrow become perpetual, and my wound desperate so as to refuse to be healed?"

Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia, et ubi ecclesia vita eterna

Where Peter is, there is the Church, where the Church is there is Eternal Life

About Me

I'm 80, formally married to Marianne for 52 years, [Marianne passed away to the Lord on August 9th, 2013 after suffering a stroke and two cardiac arrests.] We have 4 children (plus 2 in heaven-stillborn) and nine grandchildren plus 1 Step-grandchild. I'm a Korean War Vet, U.S. Navy; I was a Motorcycle News Courier for U.P.I., and WNEW Chanel 5 TV News, during 60's & 70's; a Lieutenant in the Wycoff Hospital Police in the 90's. I was ordained a Permanent Deacon for the Brooklyn Diocese on April 25, 1987 and served in four parishes before relocating to Florida in 2002. I'm still incardinated for Brooklyn Diocese. There was no parish in my town so we traveled to either Mt. Dora or Eustis for Mass. My oldest son and daughter, John and Anne, lived near us but the rest of the gang are up North in New York and Pennsylvania. We have now relocated to a northern state and my ministry is mostly on the Internet with some blogs and groups. I also assist the pastor at the local Catholic church. I owe my life and conversion/calling to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel de Garabandal, who has brought me to her Son Jesus. I am Their servant and slave! I only want to do the Will of God and glorify the Most Blessed Trinity with my life!

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;let me never be put to shame!In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,to which I may continually come;you have given the command to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.For you, O Lord, are my hope,my trust, O Lord, from my youth.Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;you are he who took me from my mother's womb.My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge.My mouth is filled with your praise,and with your glory all the day.Do not cast me off in the time of old age;forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;those who watch for my life consult togetherand say, “God has forsaken him;pursue and seize him,for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;O my God, make haste to help me!May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;with scorn and disgrace may they be coveredwho seek my hurt.

But I will hope continuallyand will praise you yet more and more.My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,of your deeds of salvation all the day,for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,O God, do not forsake me,until I proclaim your might to another generation,your power to all those to come.Your righteousness, O God,reaches the high heavens.You who have done great things,O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamitieswill revive me again;from the depths of the earthyou will bring me up again.You will increase my greatnessand comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harpfor your faithfulness, O my God;I will sing praises to you with the lyre,O Holy One of Israel.My lips will shout for joy,when I sing praises to you;my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointedwho sought to do me hurt.

Welcome to my Marian Blog

As you can tell from my postings, I'm in love with Mother Mary, who has taken me under her mantle of protection, has taught and led me to Her Divine Son, Jesus; Who in turn has led me, in the Holy Spirit, to the Eternal Father! Two prayers that I say often tell who I am:Come O Holy Spirit; Come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well-beloved Spouse.

O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee. My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
